Chicken Terriyaki

Would you believe this is only $5.99? Actually, it is $4.99 but hubby wanted extra meat so it's a dollar more. You will always see a long line at Sakkio Japan at the food center. People patiently wait for their food while they cook it in front of you. I like their chicken terriyaki more than the beef and they also have shrimp. So if you are in the mood for rice, this is a good one.

Word Racer

I get hook in playing word racer at yahoo. The game is simple. Find as fast you can as many words from the letters given. The spelling must be correct. What I find amazing always is that at the end of the game, you thought all the words have been found but when you scroll down to the list, there are still plenty available. You can join any tables and it plays up to 8 people. You can also chat with your mates. If you are fast and if you find the complicated words, you get high points. Play this game when you are sleepy, it will wake you up!

Get Help Through Debt Consolidation

Before the recession started, I cut all my credit cards to avoid being over debt. When you carry credit cards in your wallet, they become a temptation to over spend way beyond your budget. You may not feel the burden right away but once you get the statements every month, you will realize you went overboard.

To keep within the budget, you should have your own debt free program that has to be followed strictly. I have one for myself and so far I am doing fine. With the credit cards eliminated, the only biggest expense left each month is my rent debt. Lowering bills is not easy but once you become debt free, you will feel the big relief and you can sleep tight at night. I am sure you will not miss the annoying phone calls from creditors.

If you have problems paying your bills, try talking to the experts about debt consolidation at debtconsolidationbenefits.com. They have every solution to your problems; from debt consolidation to debt settlement, credit counseling, foreclosures, refinancing and a lot more. They can help you by consolidating your debts and lower your monthly payment to an amount you can afford and eventually get you out of debt. Start the debt clean now up by filling up the simple form at debtconsolidationbenefits.com.

A CryoCell Press Release was made at the annual meeting of the International Society of Cellular Therapy held in San Diego, California recently. CryoCell International announced the results of a recent study that by adding blood stem cells from a woman’s menstrual blood to stem cells from umbilical cord, it expands the number of progenitor cells which could broaden the beneficial use of stem cells. Menstrual blood stem cells can be collected and readily available while umbilical cord blood cells can only be collected during a child’s birth and does not produce enough stem cells typically required for transplantation. Because this limitation, they want to identify ways to expand cord blood stem cells. On their study, by using both menstrual blood cells and cord blood cells and processed to reduce the number of red blood cells, it resulted a significant change if the functional capacity of cord blood cells with the addition of menstrual stem cells. With this newly released finding, it encourages Cryo Cell International to do more studies with regards to expanding the yield of cord blood stem cells.

These stem cells found in cord blood have cured more than 70 life-threatening diseases including leukemia, neuroblastoma, lymphoma, sickle cell anemia and a lot more.

Our Poor Car Needs Battery

When my husband was leaving for work this morning, our car will not start. He came back to the house to inform me. I brought the van to him and we jumpstart it and voila! The car started! My husband got to work without being late and no problem with the car. Now he just called me, he is leaving work and he jumpstarted the car again.

The car battery needs to be replaced. My husband went directly to Sears, got a Die Hard car battery. He said he will install it himself and just return the used one to Sears for disposal.

Our car is a Nissan Altima 2003. It has 96,000 miles, regularly maintained with oil changes, tire rotation, etc. For this year, we got brand new brakes both front and back, got 4 brand new tires and now the battery. It is still running great and in good condition. No major repairs. Not bad with gas. No complaints. Thank you car!

Toys For Kids

I have a five year old daughter who is on pre-k right now. This is her first time to be in school and I am so happy that she loves school a lot. It will be her graduation from pre-k next month and as a gift I am planning to give her the Dora The Explorer Backpack School adventure building blocks from Mega Brands. Building these blocks would develop her imagination about school, her teachers, friends and classmates. Dora The Explorer is my daughter’s favorite cartoon character. Her first introduction to Dora was when she was a year old until Dora became her favorite along with Boots The Monkey and Isa the Iguana. She learned how to count in Spanish because of Dora. This came helpful too because her cousin speaks Spanish. I am sure my daughter will be delighted upon seeing her gift. I would like it to be a surprise present for her.

When shopping for children’s toy, MEGA Brands carries all kinds of toys for boys and girls of different ages with leading brands like MEGA Bloks, Rose Art, Magnext and Board Dudes. They carry toys that develop a child’s creativity and brain through play sets, art works, construction and building blocks.

Mama Liberty Crown Reopens July 4th

Last August, I had visitors from California touring New York, PA and Washington DC. I took them to the Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. To go there, you take a ferry either from the NJ or New York side. We went down Ellis Island but we only took pictures of Mama Liberty. Since at that time, they do not allow visitors to up the crown, my visitors did not bother to leave the boat. They just took pictures. But, starting 4th of July, the crown of the Statue of Liberty will be reopened for the first time after its closure right after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It was closed down because of security reasons. There will be 30 visitors per hour allowed into the crown and the selection is by lottery. To go up, you have to climb a 168-step double helix spiral staircase with the guidance of the park ranger. More improvements are still being done before and after the reopening.

All I could say, that the chicken tastes good and healthier with the absense of the oil used in frying. I am wondering how are they gonna do with KFC? F stands for fried, how about KGC? G for Grilled. lol. Just a thought.

Logitech Cordless Mouse

I bought this mouse for $19.99 to be used on my laptop. It's a V220
Cordless optical mouse for laptop. It was available in black, blue and red. It is so easy to use. After opening, insert the AA battery (not included), plug the receiver in the USB port and you are all set.
The mouse is a little smaller than the regular mouse but it works fine with me. Works very well.
